Get to know Connor
Come train with a high level college basketball player!
Hi, I'm Connor, a collegiate basketball player at Cal State LA with a passion for helping athletes improve their skills, confidence, and overall understanding of the game. Through years of competitive basketball, I've learned the value of hard work, discipline, and maintaining a positive mindset both on and off the court. My training sessions focus on developing strong fundamentals, including shooting, ball handling, footwork, finishing, and basketball IQ. I believe every athlete learns differently, so I tailor each workout to fit the player's age, skill level, and goals. Whether you're just starting out, looking to earn more playing time, or working toward competing at a higher level, I'm committed to helping you take the next step in your development. I also believe that training should be enjoyable. Athletes improve the most when they are engaged, having fun, and motivated to keep learning. My goal is to create a positive environment that challenges players while building confidence and a genuine love for the game. I look forward to helping athletes grow their skills, compete with confidence, and reach their full potential both on and off the court.
How I can help you improve
I can help athletes shooting, ball handling , IQ, passing, footwork and overall feel for the game. Due to my experience I have seen and played a lot of basketball. I am looking to develop athletes skills so they have more confidence to perform to the best of their abilities in games.
A typical training session
We will start with stretching and a ball-handling warm-up. Then warm-up the jump shot with close shots. Then move into the portion where I give them a move to practice/shooting and we will rep that from different areas. Then go onto a another move. Then finish the workout with a challenging game that allows the athletes to compete with themselves and their previous score in the game.
Career & accomplishments
At Culver City High School: Won Male Athlete of the Year honors. Earned first-team All-Bay League in 2023 and second-team All-Bay League honors in 2022. Was on a team that reached the regional final. Earned MVP honors at the Wilson Holiday Classic and the End of Summer Invitational. Earned a D2 Athletic Directors Association Academic Achievement Award, 2024-25 California Collegiate Athletic Association All-Academic honors and 2024-25 CCAA Winter Academic Honor Roll recognition.
Best coach I ever had
Michael Cooper, an NBA hall of Famer and five time NBA champion. He taught me what hard work truly was, and how champions carry themselves. He taught me how to be on time, to never cut corners and how your mindset is truly everything when it comes to basketball. This is something I implement into my everyday life as well.
What athletes & parents should know
As a current Cal State LA basketball player, I bring firsthand experience competing at the collegiate level and a passion for helping athletes grow both on and off the court. I prioritize creating a positive, energetic environment where players can develop their skills, build confidence, and enjoy the learning process. Parents can expect reliable communication, professionalism, and training sessions tailored to their athlete's individual goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former college and pro athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process + background check, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
